JR Boucicaut 3804 Report post Posted November 7, 2017 I'll be able to discuss it in about a month or so, with some hands-on. I like the concept; it sounds like it'll be a joy to sharpen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 65 Report post Posted November 9, 2017 I meant isn't it spelled Tydan and not Tyden as the previous poster wrote. I'm not saying it's their steel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoalForFun 176 Report post Posted November 10, 2017 I wonder if it'll be closer to Tydan/Blacksteel than CCM's SB Black which is effectively just paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 65 Report post Posted November 11, 2017 Yeah it would be nice if it was an actual DLC type of coating. Color doesn't do it for me. I'd like some performance advantage to go along with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superchad 2 Report post Posted July 19, 2018 so has anyone tried the LS5 steel yet? Any reviews on how it feels on the ice?, how it sharpens? edge durability?, etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

regsharp 4 Report post Posted July 26, 2018 gave my .02 in another thread: "2nd jimmy's take on the new LS5's as far as the coating being thin and wearing easily- sharpened 2 sets now and both seemed to wear thinner using nothing harsher than a chamois to wipe it clean. On the plus side there was little to no burr and did finish nicely, with the coating at least not interfering with the edges (unlike OEM CCM black/super polished coatings); would not recommend however as not as durable Tydan DLC (or STEP BlackSteel)." Have seen these sets a couple of times now and don't find them to be any more durable than a regular LS3 blade edge-wise, same with the finish which scratches easily too.

They are good for their price point, but not comparable to STEP or Blackedge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
